Indeed, that is what Sebastian Haffner argues in The Meaning of Hitler: In December 1941 he abandoned the goal of world conquest in favour of the Final solution–exterminating the Jews [1].
Wesleyan University | Connecticut, United States | ONSITE | VISA | Full-time | Postdoc
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Wesleyan University invites applications for two postdoctoral positions in Computer Science beginning in Academic Year 2024-2025. Each position will have an initial appointment of one year, which is renewable for two additional years, subject to satisfactory performance. A Ph.D. in computer science or related field in hand at the time of appointment is required to be hired as a postdoc; appointment as an instructor is possible for a successful A.B.D. candidate. Candidates must also have strong research and teaching records. While the successful applicant will be able to pursue their own research agenda, any overlap with current faculty research is a plus. Areas currently represented include algorithms and complexity, information security and privacy, logic, programming languages, networking, and robotics. The teaching load is three courses per year, likely consisting of an introductory-level course and more advanced courses in the applicant's specialty.
We will review applications until the position is filled, but to ensure full consideration, applications should be submitted by 29 February, 2024. Applications must include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, research statement, and three or four letters of recommendation, with at least one addressing teaching. Applications should be submitted at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/27075 Please submit PDF files only (not URLs).

As a successor of Do Not Track, there is Global Privacy Control (GPC) [1]. Sites must respect it by law in California. An increasing number of other states ---Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, and hopefully more soon --- also have provisions in their new privacy laws for privacy preference signals like GPC. You can check if a site respects GPC [2]. For example, lego.com and nfl.com are two bigger ones I recently came across.
Disclosure: I am a privacy researcher and co-founder of GPC.
Tony Soprano : [over the phone] It's a bad connection, so I'm gonna talk fast! The guy you're looking for is an ex-commando! He killed sixteen Chechen rebels single-handed!
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Get the fuck outta here.
Tony Soprano : Yeah. Nice, huh? He was with the Interior Ministry. Guy's some kind of Russian green beret. This guy can not come back to tell this story. You understand?
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : I hear you.
[the telephone connection is lost - Tony swears, and Paulie hangs up]
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [turning to Christopher] You're not gonna believe this. He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. The guy was an interior decorator.
Christopher Moltisanti : His house looked like shit.
I was a BlockFi customer. I always had the sense that they wanted to do the right thing. They hired people with risk experience in traditional banking, had real customer support, engaged with regulators to get their interest rate product certified, etc. It is really a bit sad that they got entangled into the FTX situation. (I should also say that I withdrew my funds earlier. Otherwise, I may feel differently.)
It always felt like a facade to me. When 3AC collapsed and they were fined, they didn't really disclose how they 'solved' their liquidity problem. Taking a loan out just kicks the can down the road.
They also were handed an amazing deal that no one else was offering without taking a second to wonder why?
I assumed they received the deal because they were legit. :) But yes, agreed, hard to tell from the outside. We will learn more in the bankruptcy proceedings.
I am an academic researcher, and we used BuiltWith.com for a project. Gary and Andrew added various technologies that I suggested to them (for a non-paying customer no less). So, great experience!
You could look for academic conferences in your area of interest and see what people are working on [1]. It is not necessary to have particular degree for submitting your work to a conference. Since most review processes are double-blind no one would know at submission time anyways. Though, knowing the process and how a "typical" paper looks like, on which people in academia have an advantage, certainly helps a lot.
I was able to find a good dentist by checking whether they offer CEREC. Of course, this is only anecdotal. But it worked for me a handful of times. I'd like to think, if a dentist is offering specialized services, that may serve as a proxy for their competency.
